Runcorn Linnets welcome Kidsgrove Athletic at Millbank Linnets Stadium, Runcorn, Cheshire on Monday, Mar 29 at 4:00 PM in a Northern Premier League – West Division fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

Runcorn Linnets come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Kidsgrove Athletic travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 4), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Runcorn Linnets won their last outing, while Kidsgrove Athletic suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Runcorn Linnets win or a draw looks most likely.
